The TUMP was interesting. | Play2End | 13/12/2023 |
From Fox’s Pulpit | Nick Caunt | 23/02/2023 |
Used scheduled bus Kendal to Sedbergh to drop me at start of minor lane to south, then up from Fox's Pulpit. Easy but had to ensure I caught the next (and last) bus back after also ascending Firbank Hill. Fox was a preacher who in 1652 spoke to 1000 people at this spot | trimarc2 | 21/11/2022 |
From Lincoln’s Inn Bridge. | Sedge | 28/10/2022 |
From Fox's Pulpit, like everyone else. I visited a few possible alternative summits but nothing was obviously higher than the listed outcrop | Colin Crawford | 09/10/2022 |
Roadside parking just down from Fox's pulpit. | Flatfield | 17/07/2022 |
Up Row from Bridge End on River Lune. Then north up minor road to gate leading to Fox's Pulpit and open fell. | KeithByTheC | 12/06/2022 |
After Firbank Fell with C. Walked along road, up through gates and back via Fox’s Pulpit. | PeterD | 21/12/2021 |
On drive to Sedbergh to collect L who had walked 15 miles there on Dales Way from home. A fine viewpoint to the smooth steep crag-less slopes of the Howgills and long views south down the rural Lune valley. Interesting connection here to founding of the Quaker Movement with a well written metal plaque explaining Fox's Pulpit. I stood atop (possibly) the same rock where George Fox had sat on another sunday 369 years ago (as the chapel was full) preaching to a thousand AND writing a detailed journal account afterwards - which has survived. | Chris Pearson | 12/09/2021 |
From Fox's Pulpit. Very good contour detail on this hill. | fasgadh | 24/07/2021 |
Parked next to the graveyard because we had been told it was a hard slog up the hill! Then climbed to the highpoint for a picnic. | RowanP | 01/05/2021 |
From Goodies Farmhouse up BW, thence to Fox's Pulpit and Knott, then along lane and short hop to Firbank Fell, returning via Hill Top Farm. | milimana | 23/12/2020 |
Solo from A684 lay-by, in front of brown “Western Dales” sign at SD 61461 91695. Kirkbank, Knotts & Firbank Fell. Best bit was Fox’s Pulpit. | ADT | 09/08/2020 |
Parked by Foxs Pulpit which is indeed interesting and went to Firbanks Fell and Knotts. | clivevilla | 28/07/2020 |
Ascended from small lay-by next to Fox's Pulpit. Pleasant summit area with good views. | JohnW | 27/07/2020 |
From road to the west | vegibagger | 18/03/2020 |
Few minutes bikeing break from Fox's Pulpit | Eddie | 16/03/2020 |
Second visit on circular walk from Firbank | citygent | 04/02/2020 |
1/4 Knotts, then Firbank Fell, both from parking beside the Fox's Pulpit Quaker preaching site (interesting) and then Kirkbank and Summerhouse Hill. Uninspiring hills on a drizzly day but gets them done | nickywood1 | 04/01/2020 |
Access Land. Nice little area. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 25/11/2019 |
On circular walk with Alan, via Fox's Pulpit. Excellent views for a relatively small hill. | JOHNS | 08/06/2019 |

With Fisky Boy | Brenda Cloke | 15/05/2019 |
Via Fox's Pulpit. | summitsup | 21/03/2019 |
Wide verge parking by sheep pens(?it was pitch dark) at SD 6189 9363. Nice knobbly ground. Penultimate of a 10 tump afternoon; in high winds and heavy driving rain. | jonglew | 28/11/2018 |
Walked up with Paul. Our first ascent of our holiday. | Skerryvore | 04/05/2018 |
Knotts from GR: SD 61900 93625 | ronaldo333 | 24/02/2018 |
Unremarkable top but at least there were good views to the Howgills. Access onto the fell is via a kissing gate just to the right of a small burial-ground. A stiff breeze made it a bitterly cold day, Done with Fenton. | Chris Terrey | 25/01/2018 |
With Tony G, Graham B. Cool breeze, some sunshine! From Gateside-Thwaite (footbridge gone so to avoid deep wade pleasant walk along river to roadbridge near Crook of Lune)-High House-Fox's Pulpit and graveyard-Knotts-Bridge End-Branthwaite-Thwaite-Gateside. | zoob | 13/03/2017 |
Approached from the road to the west and George Fox's pulpit plaque. Small enclosure and graveyard- church moved to valley. The plaque commemorates a three hour sermon given to 1000 people on 13/6/1672, said to be the founding of the Quaker movement. Our planned approach from the East bank of the Lune was thwarted by the washed out footbridge at Thwaite and we did not fancy wading across the wide and bouldery ford point. There are several possible high points within 100 m and we visited most and used an Abney level to determine the HP. MIlitary jets flew past. | Denise | 13/03/2017 |
Blue sky, golden sunshine, great view of snowpatched Howgills, sudden stiff south easterly breeze. Took in south top just in case, arguably the finer summit with its rocky south ridge. | Wycombe Wanderer | 04/12/2016 |
Revisit to George Fox's plaque,then simple stroll to top.With Oscar. | catman | 18/06/2015 |
With Catman. | oscarrosie | 18/06/2015 |
Parked by grave yard at SD 61876 93731 - easy bag. | David Gradwell | 17/04/2015 |
Dash out to complete this, easy from minor road to West. | nordicstar | 08/02/2015 |
Parking spot just S of gate leading to George Fox's plaque, of interest to Quakers. Tiny graveyard nearby with headstone for one William Beetham d.1800. Short walk to nice summit with rocky outcrops and views of the Howgills. | Aye Jimmy | 25/11/2014 |
Parked on verge next to gate to entrance of Fox's pulpit. | Alan Caine | 01/11/2014 |
Short climb from Fox's Pulpit plaque. | citygent | 29/10/2014 |
Fifth TuMP today with Chris Watson. | Dugswell2 | 14/03/2014 |
Easy stroll for last Tump en route to Kielder with DL. | chriswatson | 14/03/2014 |
Very difficult roadside parking as the verge and road are extremely narrow. After rain this becomes very muddy and there is a danger of becoming stuck. I took a chance as the road appears to be little used so it was a pull in as close as possible to the wall, wing mirrors in and a quick dash to the top (after reading the notice about George Fox) | moorsman | 05/03/2014 |
Grass and outcrop summit. From Fox's Pulpit, memorial relating to early days of Quaker movement. | RHW | 16/02/2014 |
Important Quaker site - good views too and some parking. | jimbloomer | 10/02/2014 |
Stop off to see Fox's pulpit. Two simple climbs | mcbiydw2 | 20/09/2013 |
